If you were looking for a Gravel bike, now is the time I see, Cycle Lab / CWC has gravel bikes on sale at HUGE discounts, in fact, loads of bikes on sale in their LockDown sale, Merida Silex 400 down a whopping R10 000.00 and the Silex 6000+ Carbon R16 0000.00!
Yes, When I look at the 7 bikes in my bike room and contemplate the fact that I only ride one of them on a regular basis I realise that there is an empty space in my heart for a gravel bike.
We all need to be respectful of the fact that various in depth studies conducted by some of the top brains in the world have proven without a shadow of a doubt that you cannot own too many bicycles. It is not possible.

Me, when hte time comes to get a new roadie (if ever)
The idea of a more capable road bike that doesn't shirk away from a little bit of dirt is intriguing, and I'd far rather spend money on that than a dedicated roadie-only bike.
40 / 45c tyres, disc brakes & drop bars. Lekka.

Go get em!
im really considering it because ive started enjoying the road riding i do with the wife on the mtb. She also prefers riding jeep track type offroad stuff more but she doesn't mind singletrack either. She'll never be a 'trail' rider though.
But I get annoyed when we hit the speed limit of what a 1x mtb can do. its like being stuk in 2nd or 3rd gear...i want to go up to 6 or 7 when i can.
I Dont think i'll ever buy a full onroad bike ever again (never say never i guess)...we enjoy riding offroad too much....so to me a gravel bike might just be the perfect compromise. if my mtb frame could take a front ring bigger than 34T....I would have done that by now. but thats the downfall of boost spacing. it limits the front ring size because it assumes you'd like a plus size tire in the rear....amongst other things. ideally i would want 36 or even 38T up front. i'm still on a 36T cassette so i'm not to bothered on that side. I almost never hit 36T in the rear...and i can always go bigger in the rear for more granny love.
maybe i should ask Mr Mercer to mod the chainstay (steel frame) in the back so i can get a 36 or 38T n/w on there haha...
i feel the need....the need for speed lol
I'm on record calling gravel bikes an industry hoax - but over the last few years I have fallen in love with drop bars and older road bikes - not always a safe option. I ride alone a lot and I have endless miles of safe gravel at my disposal. I like my wife to be able to track me and fetch me if something went wrong and found myself riding a lot of gravel track on a full sus.
I built a gravel hardtail which I love and now I'm going to make it a bit more trail so I needed a "proper" gravel bike
So now I have this and I'm pretty sure that of my X amount of bikes, this will make up 80 percent of my mileage
The frame is temporary as I have a Curve Kevin on order with Benky - Ti appeals big time
This is PORN and should be banned!

LOL, LOVIT!!!
I was, then I realised I'll always find a way to spend money on things I don't need for no reason while making someone else wealthier. Decided to sell my trail bike, hard tail and forego the gravel bike and instead buy a Pyga Stage that does it all well and only weights in at 11KGs.
I might still get one some day, but only because I'm stupid
So... If something comes up for sale at a good deal youd take it? Im in the same waters as you. I just think it might be something I will really enjoy!
So, I have been doing a fair bit of research here on TBH, and see alot of devided opinions on the matter.
One half are thinking its a consipiracy theory for bike manufacturers to keep taking our money.
The other half sees it as a practical solution to alot of things, ie. Replace your road bike with a gravel bike, its more comfy, you can easily go off the road on dangerous sections of traffic or climb curbs, you can do road races with them, all be it not UCI races, but who is checking. In fact, I saw someone do a sub 3 hour in the CTCT with a gravel bike....
I for one believe this is the bike that is in fact not the N+1 bike, but the bike that can give a person, the best of three worlds.
Whats your take on the matter, try and stay positie if at all possible lol
Hi there
How do I know what the correct tyre pressure will be for my mountainbike? I obviously have to take my weight into account but suppose that the type of terrain will also play a big role.
Currently riding mostly in the Western Cape, jeep track & single track. What pressure do you guys riding here inflate your tyres to?
Here is one of the best ways!
Let’s hope you guys pay attention to your site not crashing.
Dont think they have any ability to regulate traffic dude........
I hardly doubt they sit in the corner planning on vindictively crashing the site on one of the biggest sales days of the year.... Some things are just not in your control....
Rather ask for something you want than leaving sh!tty comments.
That looks like this....
K@K ugly
LMAO !!!! 
*** snaaks
Someones getting a brand new asshole... LOL
These guys are tearing you apart mate. Definitely made my Tuesday interesting though...
AND FOR THAT.... I THANK YOU!
Awesome event, MOERSE gees and really something for the spectators!
I was there last year and its really something to experience!
Also prize money worth your while! I didnt race. I just had LOTS of beers!
We've got a set for you if you are interested.
Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Clinchers
http://clearance.asgsport.co.za/components/zipp-firecrest-303/
Jeeeez how to hijack a thread.
By the way, GavS was looking for 404's not 303's here is the difference if you were unsure ASG:
303 45mm rim depth, Weight 1625, Brake track width 28.5mm front 24.7 rear
404 58mm Rim depth, weight 1690, Brake track width 24.73 front, 26.4 rear
The 303 is a little bit more of an allround wheel. 404 with its deeper dish will however ensure that the wind sticks to the wheel much longer meaning that the turbulent wind behind the wheel is less thus bettering drag co-efficiency. If you really want to get the best our of you wheels look at the nee\w NSW rims. Better dimple layout, imprinted decals and sawtooth imprint with showstopper brake surface.... MAN those are making me dreamyMcDreamface... Druuul... Anyhoez, dont hijack a thread, its bad manner, especially if you reply with the wrong product.. #MicDrop

according to what I have found its for muscle injuries? Or am I missing the plot? Why was it administered for nausea? Apparently there is no "performance enhancing" properties, except if its possible to use as masking agent?
Hi all. Marnitz here. I am the Manager here at CWC. I am replying on behalf of Chris (without his consent) but thought its important to say that he is not aware of this thread as he is currently doing Wines2Wales.
Ill personally make sure that he responds to Bernard on Monday.
Thank you all for your loyal support
Kind regards
